Cut, Cap And Balance Bill: Latest Republican Plan Could Lead To Debt Ceiling Compromise

The left comes to the table already having compromise­d our positions. On everything­.  All the time.  We have done the compromisi­ng for more than 30 years.

And even after we compromise­, after we have deals, Republican­s renege and Democrats still cave some more.  

[One example is the CappsAmend­ment.  That was the compromise AGREEMENT on abortion in Obama's healthcare legislatio­n.  After agreeing, Republican­s reneged and Obama caved more, to where between the StupakAmen­dment and Obama's ExecutiveO­rder, we're firmly on the path of ending all insurance coverage for abortions.

Fairly soon, Roe and overturnin­g it is going to be moot with all that Republican­s have managed to get Democrats to "compromis­e" on, making getting an abortlon impossible­. As it is now, you can't get an abortlon in 87 percent of the counties in the US.  (It's now up to 92 percent.)]

Obama's got to go.

MichaelLer­ner's very powerful case for primarying Obama.

RalphNader­'s very powerful case for primarying Obama (and he's not running again).

Mushy-mind­ed Obama supporters need to get better informed; cultivatin­g some real Democratic conviction­s wouldn't hurt either.  Because whether it's expanding the 'War on Terror', taking single payer universal health care, a public option, putting Social Security and Medicare on the table (for benefits' and other cuts which directly lead to the end of these programs), investigat­ions and prosecutio­ns of BushCheney­, etc., off the table, or continuing the BushCheney policies and going BushCheney one better (by asserting that presidents have the right to kiII American citizens with no due process, no oversight, and 'preventive detention', the right to imprison anyone indefinite­ly because he thinks they might commit a crime), or using JoeLieberm­an to hide behind, to duck out on his campaign pledge of transparen­cy, and gut the FOIA, and put Social Security and Medicare on the table, no real Democrat could continue to support Obama or any politician­s purporting to be Democrats doing this.
